Aortic Aneurysm

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm can be defined as a bulge in a section of the aorta, which is the body’s main artery. In such a case, the section with aneurysm is overstretched and weak. It can lead to serious bleeding upon bursting. While most aortic aneurysms have no symptoms, they can sometimes be detected during exams or tests. The treatment usually depends on the location of aneurysm and the overall health of the patient. There are two types of aortic aneurysms- Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm (TAA) and Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA).
